Irks about anime/manga fanfiction

As the title says, what seems to happen a lot in anime/manga fanfiction you read (if any) that just seem to annoy
you/put you off/etc.

I, for example, get annoyed when, in cross-over fanfiction, the author keeps the primary anime/manga story 99% the same
and the only thing they seem to change is swapping out the main character of that anime/manga with the main anime/manga
character of whatever it is they're crossing over (and maybe changing a few things/done said here and there), but
otherwise follow the story virtually word for word, action for action.

The number one thing I hate about fanfiction is when the author uses his/her work to demonize a character, disregarding
the character's actual personality and development for the sake of giving the character a bad name.

Another thing that turns me off is those awful cross-over romance/lemon fanfiction stories, especially when they pair
two characters with nothing in common and personalities that don't mesh well with one another that feels too much like a
crack pairing.

first off that's the point behind fanfiction, it's via the artist (writer's) rendering, ideas and so forth. that's also
the trouble when it comes to reading fanfic you're probably not going to like it due to what they are putting into it,
or how they really wanted it to come out. I have nothing against fanfic, I do them myself sometimes. and sometimes
fanfics get published and put into legit books and not just placed on the net/etc for reading/enjoyment. and if I don't
like how it's going I stop reading it, that's the point behind any work to be honest. no one is forcing you to read it
regardless, if it annoys/etc don't read it or make your own rendering. there are many ideas for the same piece of work
rather it being cartoons, comic books or live action movies: hollywood, bollywood and so forth.

And there's also nothing wrong with criticizing fanfiction work because that's what a lot of fanfiction authors hope for
- that it's well received and enjoyable by those who read it on sites or wherever it's seen, and if it's not, to know
the readers' (actual thought out) opinions (not pointless flaming) on them so they can improve on their work either
later on in the same story or in their next one. Obviously no fanfic has, is, or ever will be "perfect", but
there's always room for possible improvements.

I also stop reading if I don't find it enjoyable, but that won't stop me from leaving a review or something criticizing
why it wasn't enjoyable and/or what my opinion(s)/suggestion(s) is for what can be done to fix things.

Many of my irks come from reading just the first (few) chapter(s) of a bunch of fanfics, not forcing myself to read the
entire thing.

My example shows not just complete unoriginality, but borderline plagiarism, since all such authors do is swap out one
main character for another, but everything else is exactly the same to the point where the readers may as well watch the
original anime or read the original manga.

well yeah, with anything there is plagiarism that's going to happen, not even published works is immune to plagiarism as
well as pirated material. I don't make comments on their stuff, I rarely read it, let alone all of it, don't have the
time to be honest. but it's cool to read a few paragraphs to at least see people trying to be creative and not just
stuck in a video game life and not really trying to do anything. for, when it comes to fanfics, they could turn forward
to being actually writers, teachers and so forth. I write them for fun myself and nothing more, I don't bother with
posting them on the net because they aren't copyrighted, people steal too well on the net regardless (personal
experience). and there's nothing wrong with taking a work, swapping out stuff or being close to the original, that,
within itself, is still work, unless it becomes something else entirely and they try to publish it/sell it then it
starts to drift towards the plagiarism state, but a "normal" fanfic it's borderline, as for the point it's
taking someone's stuff and then running with ideas of your own and not all the time with the creator/s
permission.

granted, poor grammar to the point I can't figure out what I'm reading can irk me out sometimes, people are going to
have grammar errors, I have them, but to use chat speak in writing a fanfic or something of that nature (poem, short
story, etc) sort of seriously takes something from the story or takes something away from what they were/are trying to
do.

Cannot consider fan fiction unless the fan has a deep knowledge about the author's work and is driven to follow the
story with sense, what does not happen every case. So, 90% of time, I do not consider fan fiction valid.

When absolutely every character is gay for some reason. That especially goes for obviously/canonicaly het characters.
Yeah, not everyone has to be hetero but not everyone has to be gay as well. I understand people can write what they want
but sometimes they just kill the original characters and story like that -_-''

leading that is the point behind fanfiction, it's by means of the craftsman (writer's) rendering, thoughts et cetera.
that is likewise the inconvenience with regards to perusing fanfic you're most likely not going to like it because of
what they are putting into it, or how they extremely needed it to turn out. I don't have anything against fanfic, I do
them myself some of the time. what's more, some of the time (I read kimi no iru machi via mangazuki ) fanfics get distributed and put into genuine
books and not simply set on the net/and so on for perusing/happiness. what's more, in the event that I don't care for
how it's going I quit understanding it, that is the point behind any work to be straightforward. nobody is compelling
you to peruse it notwithstanding, on the off chance that it bothers/and so forth don't peruse it or make your own
rendering. there are numerous thoughts for a similar bit of work rather it being kid's shows, comic books or no-frills
motion pictures: Hollywood, Bollywood et cetera.
